Did you read the city's offer? What about it said the city wasn't willing to negotiate? The Flames owners walked away from the city donating land and paying for a third of their arena right after Nenshi publicly announced a new Victoria Park Entertainment District with the new arena anchoring it. What was unfair about that? If anything Murray Edwards and the other owners seem to think the only good deal is for the city to take on the majority of the debt and get bent over the barrel by the Flames. And Ken King and Gary Bettman trying to make this an election issue is so dirty and underhanded.
Also, I like how you ignore good things Nenshi has done like bringing Rocket Space to Calgary and bidding for Amazon's Canadian HQ.
